“Being from the area, I wanted to return to a program that offered excellent training, a wealth of patients, and a wonderful balance of academia and service. LAC+USC Medicine-Pediatrics is the ideal combination of camaraderie and support that comes with co-residents who are invested in the communities they serve. ”

“Having trained at USC for medical school, I instantly fell in love with the patient population and the hospital’s capacity to enact positive change in the lives of some of the most impoverished people in LA. The ethos of the institution of treating whomever walks through the door, regardless of their socioeconomic status or where they come from is the epitome of what healthcare should be. ”

“I have always believed healthcare is a human right and have wanted to provide care for all, regardless of citizenship, language, or economic background. Working at LA County helps me to do that. When I met the Med+Peds residents and faculty here during a 4th year Med+Peds rotation, I saw how devoted and humble everyone was. It truly felt like this was the right place to be.”
— Julian Hischbaum
“I wanted to be a part of a community where both faculty and residents value the mission of working with marginalized populations. I truly admire my co- residents and am excited to be challenged to grow with them over the next few years. ”
